Prologue:
You huff and sit on the bed. In the last five hours you've been attacked, nearly chopped to pieces, practically killed, and you're pretty sure hit on. That was just the half of it. Why am I even here, you thought lying back on the bed, letting your anger seep into the plush, golden comforter. It's all that stupid rabbit's fault, you mumble. A month ago you were sitting on the grass, waiting for your sister to come back. When all of a sudden a white rabbit comes from out of nowhere. It speaks and forces you to drink some ridiculous vile. Now you're stuck in this strange place called 'Wonderland' and with no escape route out. That includes the palace that you stay at now.
Your host, Blood Depre, is a ruthless monster who finds joy in others pain. Okay maybe he's not that sadistic, you think, but he is a terrible person. Then there's his henchmen, the bloody twins. Don't let their innocent eyes and childish looks deceive you. They are sickle wielding, blood thirsty, predators. When everyone runs away from the crime and the gore, they run to it. It terrifies me to know that two people who look like that can act the complete opposite way. Then there's the one and only Elliot March. He's Blood's right hand man, and the only one I see working. I close my eyes and remember how the twins were chasing me with their torture tools and Elliot swooped in and saved me.
I felt my face growing hot. "No, not now" I sigh. For the last few weeks. I've been trying to catch the March Hare's attention, but to no avail. He just doesn't see me.
*knock, knock*
"who is it?" I ask. A faceless maid walks in, curtsying. "I'm sorry ma'am. I was asked to bring these in, to keep you entertained until the master wants to see you" she said, placing a stack of books on my table. "see me?" I question, hoping my voice wasn't holding the anger that swelled inside of me. "Yes ma'am. See you. Master says he'll call if he have need for you." "Have need for me! Of all the ignorant, ungrateful, pigheaded-" "ma'am, do you need anything else?" The maid inquired, interrupting my rant. "NO!" I growled, turning my back to her. As I heard the door open, I quickly swerved around. "WAIT!" I called. "Yes ma'am" the maid said, curtsying again. "Don't do that." I told her. "Do what?" She inquired. "Curtsying. I hate it, I'm not the queen and don't plan on becoming one." I tell her. "Yes ma'am" she replies. "Oh and don't call me ma'am anymore. Call me (name) from now on" the maid giggled. "yes (name)' she started to curtsy, then stopped. 'Anything (name)?" "No." I told her and then she left.
I hated the way Blood treated me, I fumed. As if I were a child or a prisoner instead of a guest. Hum, I grumble walking over to the stacks of books. They were mostly war books or trash novels, nothing to keep me 'entertained'. I think, pushing the stack off the desk. Then I saw it, on the cover of the 'Wonderland Whisper'.
The headline was 'How to Make Him Want You'. I instantly thought of Elliot. Did I ever want to make him want me, to kiss me, to touch me. I flushed again, embarrassed by my sudden thoughts of desire. Maybe I shouldn't open this article. I closed my eyes but all I saw was Elliot. Okay, I'm definitely opening this, I thought, picking up the magazine. "Watch out Elliot, I will make you fall for me or my name isn't (name)!" I triumphantly declared.
